2 Samuel 19:13-15

Expanded Bible

¹³ And say to Amasa, ‘·You are part of my own family [^LAre you not my bone and flesh?]. May God punish me terribly if I don’t make you commander of the army [^Lfrom now on; for life] in Joab’s place!’”

¹⁴ ·David [or Amasa; ^LHe] ·touched [turned; swayed] the hearts of all the people of Judah ·at once [as one]. They sent a message to the king that said, “Return with all ·your men [^Lwho serve you].” ¹⁵ Then the king returned as far as the Jordan River. The men of Judah came to Gilgal to meet him and to ·bring [escort] him across the Jordan.
